I've done a startup before, built in 2 weeks. It crashed 4 times a day, customer service response was about 4 days early on. People are willing to wait when it's an important enough problem.

But it's very hard to tell which will succeed and which wouldn't. I've been building "properly" the last 3 years and nothing came out of it.

The artificial time limit is there to force myself to focus on what really matters, prevent scope creep. E.g. the big problem with #1 is that people wanted scheduling, but I'm not entirely sure it's necessary so early on. It might just work as a matchmaking site.
